The world of machine learning and data analytics has never been more exciting than the last 5 years or so. Most importantly, there seems to be no end to the good times. The digitization of human activities generates vast amounts of valuable data. These data need advanced algorithms to make sense of and capable data scientists and machine learning engineers to guide them in finding the needle in the haystack.

Data science is an integral part of building an efficient ride-hailing platform. At Taxify, it took us just one year to build a strong and agile data science function which works on state-of-the-art solutions and deals with optimising millions of rides happening in real time.
